Kelly Ripa Implores Instagram Critic to ‘Unfollow Me’

Kelly Ripa made it abundantly clear that she isn’t one to mess with — particularly on Instagram.

The Live With Kelly and Ryan cohost, 47, shared a Boomerang video on Thursday, May 31, of herself using an inflatable model of a mechanical bull throughout a taping of the morning speak present. One of her 1.Eight million followers seemingly took offense to the lighthearted clip and responded in a direct message: “This makes me extremely uncomfortable.”

Ripa wasn’t having it. She replied, “Then unfollow me,” earlier than sharing a screenshot of their interplay. The TV host then added, “She more of an @theellenshow fan,” referencing fellow daytime presenter Ellen DeGeneres.

Ripa and her husband of 22 years, Mark Consuelos, are each recognized to hearth again at their critics on social media. In March, an Instagram consumer left a adverse touch upon a photograph of the couple, claiming that the Riverdale star, 47, “tries to look taller” than his 5-foot-Eight stature. But his wife clapped back, “He’s tall where it counts babe.”

Consuelos returned the favor two weeks later when some folks body-shamed Ripa within the feedback part of considered one of his pictures of her in a bikini.

“I posted this pic of the women [sic] I most admire,” he wrote. “As a playful tribute to my wife who I’m proud of in endless ways. She works extremely hard in her professional life and her commitment to exercise, healthy diet is admirable and the benefits show. Yes she’s wearing a bikini at age 47 and will no doubt wear one for many years to come. If that offends you in some way, if it triggers you, or some other psychosis you’re suffering from, I suggest you get over it and get used to it.”

The actor continued, “To all the males that had something negative to say. I suggest you bring it up with me if ever I’m lucky enough to run into you. I’m going to get back to my vacation now.. thanks for allowing me to express myself. I love you @kellyripa… keep killing it.”
